With a series of successful test firings completed by Orbital ATK, engineers are gaining confidence in how their five segment boosters will perform in their role in helping the Space Launch System (SLS) push through first stage flight. With the first two flight boosters in production, Orbital ATK is also disassembling the QM-2 motor, which test fired back in June, allowing for all of its parts to be inspected.
